Very beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it

About Diephuisstraat 7, Groningen
The asking price of €225,000 is 40% below the average asking price in the Professorenbuurt (€372,948) and also below the median of €325,000. However, the apartment is 64 m², which is 26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 86 m². Given the lower square footage, the price per m² is roughly in line with the market, making it a reasonable entry point for a compact home in a popular area.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, not the best, but far from the worst. You can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, about 28% of homes have label C, while 30% have label D or lower, so this home is around average for the area.
The Professorenbuurt is mixed: 13% of households have children, but many are students or singles. Residents mention several schools, playgrounds and parks, and one says it's "perfect for students but also for families." Another notes it's "a great place to live" despite some messiness. So it's family-friendly in terms of amenities, but the atmosphere is youthful.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The city centre is easily reachable by bike.
Residents feel safe. One says "definitely a safe neighbourhood," and another mentions a "safe feeling of living." The total number of crimes reported in the area is 464, but without context per capita, it's hard to compare. Overall, the reviews suggest it's a secure place to live.
Parking can be tight, especially for bikes. One resident notes "sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike." Car parking is not specifically mentioned, but in a dense urban area with many students, it may be limited. The home is in a busy part of Groningen.
